About The Event

Overview

The ManuVation project, through its partners, provides workshops to Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SME) in order to help them understand advanced manufacturing technologies, how they help SMEs improve processes, and find inexpensive solutions for integration. Following a brief survey of registered participants, IMS will customize the workshop to topics selected from survey respondents to insure the workshop is relevant to your business challenges. The workshop methodology allows industry to speak to industry about business issues and potential technological solutions. Our intent is to help you find a pathway to low-cost solutions toward advanced manufacturing technologies including sharing best practices, forming small projects, and other follow-on activities. You should leave the workshop with a better understanding of what you can do to remain competitive in the next ten years by up-skilling your workforce and enhancing your manufacturing capabilities.

This event is held in conjunction with the World Manufacturing Forum that will share a valuable report on the global direction of innovation in manufacturing. The results are from a year-long study and interviews from industrialized nations around the globe and proves to provide interesting insight and delivers recommendations to help you stay competitive.
